November 28, 2018 Yesterday, when I was taking pictures in the morning and jumped in the car to warm up, a Boat-tailed Grackle came to check out my camera and scope. We were nicely entertained. This morning we went to St. Marks National Wildlife…

By Linda November 27, 2018 We arrived outside the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on Sunday afternoon. We set up camp and left to visit the refuge and promptly got lost. There aren’t that many roads around here to get lost. I forgot the…

November 24, 2018 While Regis did most of the packing for the short camping trip we are leaving on tomorrow, I went birding. It was a great deal for me. We are headed to see the St. Mark’s Wildlife Refuge. We should be able…

November 18, 2018 Regis and I went birding at the Saltmarsh yesterday and saw lots of birds. We saw four different birds of prey: Bald Eagle, Osprey, Red-tailed hawk, and Northern Harrier. While standing on the dock at the intracoastal waterway (ICW), I looked…

By Linda November 13, 2018 I’ve been spending some time birding in the area lately in preparation for the Christmas Bird Count. I plan to participate and I’m trying to get a handle on the local birds I might see. I have lived here…

October 18, 2018 Last Sunday, we kayaked on the Matanzas River near the Matanzas Inlet. The river meets the ocean at the inlet. It was a beautiful day, so there were lots of folks out enjoying the water. That meant there were lots of…

October 6, 2018 We’ve been back a month and we didn’t get out kayaking until a few days ago. We kayaked on Guana Lake in the late afternoon. We saw some drama with an Eagle and an Osprey. I’ve been volunteering in several…

August 24, 2018 This morning, we went in search of moose. We went to Brainard Lake near the Indian Peaks Wilderness. We did not see any moose, so we hiked to Long Lake. We didn’t see any moose, but the views were incredible. Of…
